THE increase in population and en-
HANGED valuation of property in Hen
derson. as the natural result of the
building of the Durham railroad, would
in a few years more than pay the cost
to us of getting it. Think of this and

HENDERSON has made some serious
blunders in the past, by not acting
when an opportunity was offered her to
secure additional railroads and thereby
add to her business importance and
material prosperity. Let us not re-
peat such folly.

I'm response to a letter from the editor

enquiring about the present condition OF
the crops in this section and the outlook

vas written and published i'll that journal
last Saturday: Il

Tuesday, July 90, 1887.

The ants win boast of their bic
crowd at Fort Worth to-day. 1t JIG
published in their papers that the
purpose Of the meeting Is to counter
act the influence in North Texas OF
of the recent pro state mass-mceting,
and they were determined to have n
larger gathering than the pro l5,OOo'
even though they have to hire people
to go. Their first step to-
ward securing big crowd
was to secure long excursion trains,
and sell tickets at little or nothing, for
instance rouni.trip tickets from Dali
las so cents. From the fact that ants
solicited merhants and others in Dsl-
las to buy tickets even if they could
not 60 to the Fort, the HERALD would
guess that the liquor dealers charter
ed the trains and had the tickets sold,
themselves assuming al responsibility.
They are bound to have a big crowd
whether they be ants or pros. or
idlers going just because they can.

ANTS PRACTICE pRoHIBhIoN.

AN LIS fhhtii'G iitCh'' iDN'
THE anti-prohibiiionists atl their
State mass meeting in Fort Worth to-
day exclude whisky from the
grounds. They sold privileges\for
lunch, lemonade, ice cream. soIa
water, etc, but licensed no man to,
sell Intoxicating drinks on the
grounds where they will congrc-
gate in their State mass meeting.
Now, this strange action Of inconsist-
cncy on the part of the ants prompts
the inquiry" Why SOP" Aren't whis-
Ky and beer good things? Do the
management mean to repudiate the
utterances Of Mills, Grain, and 9TH
ers in defense of these Intoxicating
drinks and the drinking privilege?
Do they mean to sly that it is
best even at one Of
their own partisan meetings
that whiskey should not be sold ?
Isn't that PROHIBITION. If the liquor
is good one day, why
not several days, months and years ?
If liquor shouldn't be drank at an anti
and liquor-men's gathering, when is a
good time and where the place is it
meet and proper to drink ii? The HER
AID thinks this prohibition action OF
the ants is about as good an argu-
ment for the adoption of the amend
ment as has yet been presented.
They didn't want whisky on the
grounds, because they are now on
heir good behavior. They can't af-
ford, just at this time, to get drunk
md make hogs of themselves. Then,
here might, in rovelry of intoXica-
ion, be another Grigslcy- Haggarty |
and that would show up |
heir cause in its true light. They |
must be sober, appear wise and try
md be consistent with the preaching
If their stump-speakers who de-
,lare with such apparent earnestncss
hat they are opposed to liquor and
he liquor business, but they want to
preserve personal liberty. They
would actually, if necessary, shut up
heir shops till election to fool the
,eople on the influence and effects OF
liquor. They admit in this little bit
If sharp practice just what the pro-
libitionists claim, that prohibition
prevents drunkenness and promotes
he interests Of society and preserves
,ood order; they admit too
hat prohibition does prohibit,
Use why do they prohibit the
ale of liquors from their grounds in
Tort Worth to-day? If prohibition
loos not prohibit, why did they ell
lcavor to keep their crowd sober and
IN good behavior by prohibitory
Measure? This move of the ants
hould serve to open the eyes of the
'eople of Texas, to the fact, that the
liquor dealers and their party know
hat prohibition is good and is practi-
able, but that they want TO perpetuate
he traffic for the sole purpose of Pc
uniary profit to themselves at the ex-
ense of sobriety, good society, man.
God debased, womanhood wronged,
hildren defrauded, and the perpetual
ion of the liquor influence in politics.

Hon. JOE ABBOTT, our congress
man, deserved better treatment at the
hands of the ants of Dallas than he
was accorded last night. The HERALD
said yesterday that he was entitled to
a large audience, and We are
sorry that he did not have it. The
blame is with the anti managers.
